Of all the sights, sounds, and ideas of my four undergraduate years at Yale, one that evokes instant positive transport to that time is hearing the Whiffenpoof Song. Even when I was at Yale, this evoked a feeling of an era that was long past -- so this isn't recalling something I actually experienced, but rather the myth of Yale that I understood but didn't actually live in.

Here is a rendition I filmed with my iPhone at a party before the playing of the 2016 Harvard-Yale game in Cambridge, MA.

Here is a flyer announcing the showing of "To Be A Man", a film by Murray Lerner that was made in 1966, funded by the Yale Admissions Department. Rather than the limited showing to prospective Yale Students, the film was picked up by WGBH and shown on many public television stations shortly after it was created in 1966.
